The California Zephyr at Winter Park... |
Crossing the United States by train, from just $227...
Without a doubt, crossing the United States by train from coast to coast is one of the world's great travel experiences. Amazingly, it's also one of the world's great travel bargains, as a 3,000 mile 4-day trip on Amtrak can cost as little as $227 (£150) booked online at www.amtrak.com. There are daily departures and half a dozen possible routes to choose from. What's a 3-day coast-to-coast train journey actually like? This page will show you in pictures, using arguably the most scenic route via Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited from New York to Chicago and the famous California Zephyr from Chicago to San Francisco. The Train Travel in the United States page will explain the practicalities of which cross-country route to choose, train schedules, prices and how to buy tickets. It also explains what the trains themselves are like, and what type of seat or sleeper to choose.

Day 1: New York to Chicago on the Lake Shore Limited.The first part of this epic 3,397-mile 3-night coast to coast train ride is from New York to Chicago aboard Amtrak's 'Lake Shore Limited'. This is a 959 mile trip taking 1 night. The Lake Shore has Viewliner sleeping-cars, Amfleet reclining seats cars & heritage dining-car. The Lake Shore Limited follows much the same route as the fabled 'Twentieth Century Limited' (1906-1967), once one of the world's most famous trains. One big difference is that the 'Century' would have left from track 34 or 35 of New York's beautiful Grand Central Terminal (pictured, right, with the Chrysler Building in the background). Today's Lake Shore Limited leaves from the rival Pennsylvania Station. An underground connecting line was built in the early 1990s, allowing trains to & from the Albany direction to access Penn Station, and all Amtrak long-distance trains now depart from the somewhat less beautiful Penn Station. Only suburban trains now serve Grand Central Terminal. We booked our New York to San Francisco tickets in advance at www.amtrak.com, and collected the tickets from the self-service machines at Penn Station by placing the barcode on our booking printout under the machine's scanner. Easy! So here goes... |
Boarding the train at Penn Station... |
Day 1, 3.00pm: Our journey starts at New York's Pennsylvania Station in the heart of Manhattan. The original station building was demolished decades ago, and today's Penn Station is an unremarkable modern building with its concourse underground. But it's the starting point for some of the world's greatest train rides. For an idea of what the old Penn Station would have looked like, see its twin, the post office building next door. |
Checking in your bags. You can check in your heavy luggage all the way to San Francisco, leaving you free to enjoy the journey. |
3.30pm: Boarding the Lake Shore Limited. American stations tend to hide the trains away, and Penn Station is no exception with the trains on underground tracks. The Lake Shore leaves daily at 3.45pm. |
A scenic ride along the Hudson River Valley... |
The Lake Shore Limited heads out of New York's Penn Station and soon emerges into the daylight alongside the Hudson River. It follows the scenic Hudson River Valley all the way to Albany in up-state New York, with the rails often right next to the river. Wonderful! Pictured above left, Storm King Mountain. Film fans may recognise the scenery from the train scenes with Cary Grant & Eva Marie Saint in North by Northwest. Those scenes are set on the Twentieth Century Limited over this very route... |
5.00pm: West Point Military Academy can be seen on the far bank of the Hudson... |
Bannerman's Island with its ruined house is another local landmark. |
You'll see a series of huge road bridges spanning the Hudson as the Lake Shore Limited heads along the river to Albany. You'll also see small commuter towns, marinas, marshland and countryside... |
6.45pm: Crossing the Hudson. The Lake Shore Limited crosses the Hudson at Albany, with great views of Albany to the left. |
Dinner in the dining car... Salad, main course and dessert. |
7.00pm, Albany: At Albany Rensselaer, a chance to stretch your legs. The Boston-Chicago portion is attached here... |
Chicken & rice for dinner, washed down with a nice half bottle of Merlot. Although certainly not gourmet, food on Amtrak's long distance trains hits the spot... |
Overnight in a seat or sleeper... Sleep the night away in your reclining seat (above left, 40 degree recline, you can bring a blanket or buy one from the cafe car) or if you can afford it, a sleeper. More information about the sleeper options on the Lake Shore Limited. |
A bit of history... We're following the classic New York Central Railroad route from New York to Chicago, from Grand Central Terminal (or these days Penn Station) north along the Hudson to Albany then west along Lake Erie and Lake Michigan via Cleveland, Rochester & Syracuse to Chicago. Marketed for years as 'The Water Level Route - You Can Sleep', this was a jibe at the rival Pennsylvania Railroad's shorter but far more steeply-graded route from New York Penn Station to Chicago via Philadelphia & Pittsburgh through the Allegheny Mountains. In its heyday, the Pennsy's premier train, the 'Broadway Limited' ran to the same schedule as the Central's 'Twentieth Century Limited' (New York depart 6pm, Chicago arrive 9am) but it never achieved quite the same fame. Today's Lake Shore Limited perpetuates the name of one of the New York Central's other New York to Chicago trains. Wake in the farmlands of Indiana... |
Day 2, 8:20am: The train crosses Ohio and enters Indiana. Above right, as the Lake Shore Limited stops at Elkhart, an old New York Central diesel from the 1950s is seen at Elkhart's railroad museum. Hello Chicago! |
Great, egg & bacon for breakfast in the dining-car! You've an extra hour to spare - you must put your watch back an hour as you enter Illinois, shortly before arriving in Chicago... |
9.45am: The Lake Shore Limited arrives at Chicago Union station at 9.45am, in this case just 10 minutes late. |
Day 2: Changing trains at Chicago Union station...
Arriving on the Lake Shore Limited at 9:45am, you've a morning to explore Chicago until the California Zephyr leaves at 2.00pm.
Union Station: Chicago's Union Station is a historic landmark in its own right, perfectly located in downtown Chicago. You emerge from the underground concourse into the great hall, a magnificent space with steps up to Canal Street. |
The Untouchables... Film fans will recognise these steps at Chicago union station from the famous pram scene in 'The Untouchables'. Actually, there are two identical flights of steps up to Canal Street. After years wondering which set were used, I'm now told it's the southern steps... |
The Sears Tower: You've enough time in Chicago to climb the Sears Tower (now re-branded the Willis Tower) to the SkyDeck (www.theskydeck.com) for great views over Chicago & Lake Michigan. |
Day 2: Chicago to San Francisco on Amtrak's California Zephyr.The second leg of this coast-to-coast trip is a 2-night, 2,438-mile journey aboard one of the world's greatest trains, the California Zephyr. A train called the California Zephyr first took to the rails in 1949, run jointly by the three railroads over which it ran, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy (the 'Burlington'), the Denver & Rio Grande Western ('Rio Grande') and the Western Pacific. It couldn't compete on speed with the rival Union Pacific 'City of San Francisco' but it more than made up for that with superb scenery and gleaming stainless steel carriages which featured no fewer than four 'vista domes' for sightseeing. This original 'CZ' ran until 1970. Amtrak's modern incarnation of the California Zephyr follows much of the same route, though superb scenery in the Rockies, across the arid country of Utah and Nevada, and through the snow-capped Sierra Nevada in California to the Bay Area. It's probably the most scenic and historic of all the Amtrak train routes across the United States. When you step off this train in California, you'll have seen more of America than many Americans! Don't forget to watch the video, too! Boarding in Chicago... |
Metropolitan Lounge... At Chicago, sleeping-car passengers may wait in the Metropolitan Lounge, with complimentary tea, coffee & soft drinks |
Day 2, 2.00pm: All aboard the California Zephyr! Passengers join the double-deck Superliner cars for the classic 2,438 mile 2-night journey to the Pacific Coast, on one of the world's great train rides. |
Galesburg, Illinois... |
4.30pm: The California Zephyr stops at Galesburg. You can normally stretch your legs at most stops, even if for only 10 minutes. As far as Denver, the California Zephyr runs over the original Burlington Route tracks, after various mergers now part of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad. Crossing the Mississippi... |
5.00pm: Passengers in the Sightseer lounge are literally on the edge of their seats as the California Zephyr rumbles slowly over the huge steel bridge across the Mississippi River from Illinois into Iowa. It's official, you're now in America's Wild West! Dinner in the diner... |
6.00pm: 3-course meals are included in the fare for sleeping-car passengers. Meals cost extra for coach class passengers, but are not expensive. There are several sittings from 5pm to 8pm, but everyone who wants gets fed. More information about food & dining car service. Ottumwa, Iowa... |
6.55pm: Another chance to stretch your legs, the California Zephyr calls at Ottumwa, home of fictional character Radar O'Reilly from M*A*S*H. After Iowa, the train crosses the vast Nebraska flatlands, with stops at Omaha & Lincoln. remember to put your watch back an hour after entering Nebraska. |
Overnight in your reclining seat or private sleeper... Passengers settle down for the night, either in a sleeper or a coach class reclining seat. Above left, Superliner coach seats recline 40 degrees. You can bring your own blanket or buy one from the cafe car. Pictured right, chaos in the Smith's family bedroom on the bottom deck of a Superliner sleeping-car. More information about the seat & sleeper options on this train. Denver, the Mile High City... |
Day 3, 7.15am: The Zephyr stops for half an hour for refuelling and servicing at Denver's historic Union Station. Once the station had many platforms, now it has just two. A private car is attached to the Zephyr, perhaps the ultimate way to travel by train across the States! The Mile High City, at Denver we're already 5,280 feet above sea level. The Big Climb into the Rocky Mountains... |
9.00am: Now for a real treat! The California Zephyr leaves Denver and starts the long climb out of the Great Plains into the Rockies. On the exposed 'Big 10 Curve', hopper cars filled with sand have been placed alongside the line to act as a wind break. |
Climbing, climbing, up, up, up, through a succession of tunnels carved from the rock... In places, you can glimpse Denver's skyscrapers rising from the plain spread out below. You may see deer or even elk on this part of the route. |
At times, you can look forward and see the front of the train snaking round the mountainside. The train reaches a maximum altitude of 9,270 feet above sea level as it passes through the 6.2-mile-long Moffat Tunnel. The tunnel opened in 1928, shaving 176 miles off the journey to the Pacific. Winter Park... |
10.10am: Winter Park... Just after the Moffat Tunnel, the California Zephyr calls at Winter Park for the nearby ski resort. Those beautiful Colorado Canyons... |
11.30am: Now it gets even better. The California Zephyr snakes for hours through beautiful Colorado canyons, right alongside the river and its many swirling rapids. This is where you start to realise that Americans who fly across the States and never take the train are quite possibly insane. |
12.30pm: Lunch in Colorado, with scenery like this over your half-bottle of Californian cabernet sauvignon & (rather good, in fact) all-American cheeseburger in the dining car. The Fraser Canyon is followed by the Gore Canyon... |
Yet more Colorado scenery. Mile after mile, it just keeps on coming... |
After lunch, retire to the Sightseer observation-lounge car and put those wrap-around sightseeing windows to good use! |
And yet more Colorado scenery. The landscape changes as the day progresses, as you can see from the rock colour... 'Moon' River... |
1.00pm: Oh no, we're being mooned! Rafters on the Colorado moon the passing train. The concept of 'mooning' needs to be explained to 4 year old Nate, after which he thinks it's the funniest thing ever. He's very disappointed when another group of rafters fails to moon... Glenwood Canyon & Glenwood Springs... |
2.00pm: Glenwood Springs... The California Zephyr snakes through the 12-mile-long Glenwood Canyon, shared on the opposite bank with an interstate Highway, and arrives at Glenwood Springs. A major recreational centre where the Colorado & Roaring Fork rivers meet, Doc Holliday of Gunfight at the OK Corral fame spent the last years of his life here. |
The many Amish people travelling on our train get off at Glenwood Springs, see the bottom left corner of this photo. Just for the record, the Amish people we talked to on the train were friendly, very real & down-to-Earth. The photo shows the Sightseer Lounge car, with a cafe downstairs, an observation lounge above. |
4.20pm: Crossings the Colorado-Utah State Line. After calling at Grand Junction, the train enters Utah, marked with white letters on the sandstone cliffs in Ruby Canyon. These also feature steps carved by early native Americans... |
Fabulous scenery in Utah... |
4.30pm: The scenery changes again. At the edge of an open plain, the Zephyr runs along a range of arid hills. The train calls at Helper ('helper' engines would be attached to eastbound trains here) and Provo, home town of Donny Osmond. |
5.30pm: Time for an early dinner with tasty salmon & white wine, with breathtaking scenery like this speeding past the window, a ground level tour right across the American Wild West. |
7.00pm: Overnight in a seat or sleeper. Pyjama time for certain small passengers (above right), the second night on the Zephyr. The train calls at Salt Lake City (11.05pm) and during the night it crosses from Utah to Nevada. Remember to put your watch back another hour, as you enter yet another time zone... Breakfast in Nevada... |
Day 4, 8.00am: The California Zephyr races across the Nevada desert. The train calls at Elko, Winnemucca (whose claim to fame is having its local bank robbed by Butch Cassidy in 1900) & Sparks. At 8:36am the train calls at Reno, the Biggest Little City in the World. California Dreamin'... |
9.30am: The California Zephyr enters California and calls at Truckee, named after a Paiute chief called Trukizo and the Pauite tribe's word for hello, 'Tro-kay'. Between Salt Lake City & the Bay Area, the California Zephyr travels over the Central Pacific Railroad (now part of Union Pacific), part of the first trans-continental line across the United States completed in 1869. There's a commentary between Truckee & Sacramento by an expert from the Sacramento Railroad Museum. High Sierra... |
10.30am: The Zephyr has yet another scenic treat in store, as she climbs high into the fir-covered mountains of the Sierra Nevada. The Zephyr passes the Donner Lake and heads through the Donner Pass, where the Donner Party were stranded in the winter of 1846-7. Some of the party of 87 resorted to cannibalism, only 48 survived. |
Even in July, there's snow on the highest peaks... The final run to the Bay Area... |
12.45pm: Lunch - another glass or two of the merlot, and I can't resist another classic Amtrak burger... |
2.15pm, Sacramento. The Zephyr calls at California's state capital and home to the California State Railroad Museum. |
3.50pm: We've done it, we've crossed America!! The California Zephyr reaches the Bay Area, and for a short stretch approaching Oakland it runs alongside the glistening waters. It's a sense of elation that airline passengers will never know. We've done it, we've crossed a continent from coast to coast, from New York to California, from the Atlantic to the Pacific... |
4.10pm, Emeryville, California: Ten minutes ahead of schedule with its locomotive bell clanging, Amtrak train number 5 the California Zephyr pulls into Emeryville. Passengers for San Francisco board the transfer buses waiting outside the station. And yes, we saw our checked bags being loaded safely onto the bus, checked through all the way from New York! San Francisco! |
5.00pm: San Francisco! The transfer bus crosses the impressive 8.4 mile Bay Bridge, opened in 1936. The San Francisco skyline appearing through the mist, with the prison island of Alcatraz visible on the right and the Golden Gate Bridge in the far distance. The Amtrak bus drops us at the Ferry Building in the heart of downtown San Francisco. |
Watch the video...A 6-minute snapshot of a trip on the California Zephyr... |

RANTIN: Lexington deputy honored for heroism
A Lexington County sheriff's deputy has been honored for helping an Irmo-area woman experiencing a medical emergency at her home.
Lake Murray Marine Patrol Deputy Brian Borough was named the department's Employee of the Quarter for the fourth quarter of 2013 during the most recent awards ceremony earlier this month.
The Lexington County Sheriff's Advisory Council selected the 43-year-old Borough for the honor.
Borough was recognized for his actions Dec. 22, when he discovered an 83-year-old woman lying face down on a bathroom floor at her home. He had gone to the home to check on the woman's well-being, because no one had been able to contact her and her husband was in a hospital.
Borough found the house locked and no indication of activity inside. Fearing the woman was in danger, he forced his way into the home, where he found the woman in the bathroom. He requested help from Lexington County Emergency Medical Services and the woman was taken to a hospital and treated after an apparent fall.
"Brian acted urgently and decisively to ensure that the 83-year-old woman quickly received medical treatment that saved the woman's life," Sheriff James Metts said.
Borough, who also received the Sheriff's Department Life Saving Award for his actions, has been with the department since August 1999.
Lexington County Detention Center Lt. Jeremy Vetter received the Sheriff's Medal, the highest law enforcement honor the sheriff can bestow, during the recent awards ceremony.
Vetter, 31, of Lexington, was recognized for his ongoing support of the Nancy K. Perry Children's Shelter with his wife, Whitney.
For the past two years, the Vetters have led efforts to provide Christmas presents for children at the shelter. The couple also helped raise money to help the shelter improve its playground.
"Jeremy encouraged correctional officers to take a personal interest in the Christmas gift project," Metts said. "Jeremy demonstrated exceptional performance in a leadership role."
Six reserve deputies also were recognized during the ceremony. They have volunteered a combined 30,726 hours the past five years alongside full-time paid deputies.
Metts presented the Sheriff's Department Distinguished Reserve Deputy Award to Capt. Lee Thomas, Sgt. John Lookabill, Sgt. Worth Rogers, Sgt. Tom Robinson, Deputy Eli Maoli and Deputy Scott Zylstra, who now is a full-time deputy.

Lower economic growth outlook trims 2014 demand increase
12 August 2014
The IEA Oil Market Report (OMR) for August lowered its 2014 global oil demand growth forecast to 1.0 million barrels per day (mb/d) on lower‐than‐expected deliveries in the second quarter and the International Monetary Fund's weaker outlook for economic growth. But as the economy improves in 2015, demand is set to accelerate by 1.3 mb/d in 2015.
OPEC crude oil supply rose by 300 000 barrels per day (300 kb/d) to 30.44 mb/d in July, a five‐month high, as a boost from Saudi Arabia to 10 mb/d and a tentative recovery in Libyan output more than made up for declines in Iraq, Iran and Nigeria. The "call on OPEC crude and stock change" averages around 30.8 mb/d for the fourth quarter, just like in the third, the OMR informed subscribers.
The global oil supply increased 230 kb/d in July, to 93.0 mb/d, with higher OPEC output countering slightly lower non‐OPEC supply. Compared with July 2013, global supplies rose 840 kb/d, as a 1.2 mb/d increase in non‐OPEC supplies more than offset a 360 kb/d decline in OPEC output.
OECD industry stocks posted their sixth consecutive monthly build in June, rising 13.8 mb to stand at 2 671 mb at the end of the month, their highest level since September 2013. Inventories' deficit to the five‐year average narrowed to 42.1 mb from 52.0 mb at the end of May. The second-quarter stock build of 88 mb was the largest quarterly build since the third quarter of 2006.
Global refinery activity saw diverging trends in June. A counter‐seasonal fall in OECD throughputs contrasted with record highs in key non‐OECD countries. The OMR estimated second-quarter global refinery runs at 76.5 mb/d, 1.3 mb/d more than a year earlier and 0.2 mb/d higher than in the previous OMR. Projections for the third quarter remain unchanged at 77.8 mb/d.
Among special focus articles in the August OMR, subscribers are learning about the possible effects of Argentina's credit default on the previously positive outlook for the country's oil sector. Also, the monthly report takes a close look at the ongoing restructuring of the Italian refining industry.
The Oil Market Report (OMR) is a monthly International Energy Agency publication which provides a view of the state of the international oil market and projections for oil supply and demand 12-18 months ahead. To subscribe, click here.

Critical Essay by Simon Dentith
SOURCE: "Imagination and Inversion in Nineteenth-Century Utopian Writing," in Anticipations: Essays on Early Science Fiction and Its Precursors, edited by David Seed, Syracuse University Press, 1995, pp. 137-52.
In the following essay, Dentith studies the ways in which nineteenth-century utopian literature employs and transcends the trope of inversion.
In Chapter 17 of Adam Bede, 'In which the story pauses a little', George Eliot contrasts the 'wonderful facility for drawing a griffin' with the difficulty faced in trying to draw a real lion. George Eliot was a writer who was generally anti-utopian in spirit, for whom science meant not so much the possibility of emancipation as the recognition of limits, and for whom imagination was fundamentally subservient to realism; as such she can be taken as providing a strong case against the 'imaginativeness...

Nanoparticles of Pt, Pd, Ag and Au supported on alpha-Al2O3 have been synthesized by the combustion method for the first time and characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Catalytic activities of these nanosized materials have been investigated. For the CO+O-2 reaction, 100% CO conversion occurs below 300 degrees C over supported Pt, Pd and Ag metals whereas 90% conversion is observed over Au at 450 degrees C. Similarly 100% NO conversion is seen over 1% Pd/Al2O3 and 1% Pt/Al2O3 below 400 degrees C for the NO+CO reaction whereas approximate to 90% NO is converted into N-2 above 650 degrees C on 1% Ag/Al2O3 and 1% Au/Al2O3.

I have to sell my wifes 2005 GT with 41000 highway miles to amke room for a terminator car. It's black with black leather interior, interior upgrade package, I believe every option in 05 with the exception of the side air bags and the shaker 1000. We bought it brand new and my wife drove from our new house in Louisville to Detroit every weekend for almost a year (hence the miles). It has never seen a winter, I think it saw snow once since it was down here and there was no accumulation. Last winter it was stored from October to April in a heated garage, this year it was only driven on days with no snow/ice on the roads. It has the premium ESP that is transferable to the new owner. I have changed the oil every 4-5k with mobile 1 and mobile 1 filter since the 2nd dealer completed oil change.
Here's the few sparce mods: SLP loud mouths Steeda tri-ax K&N FIPK and Diablosport tuner (never even ran a 93 octane tune) All of the stock parts are included. Dealer offered $17,800, I am looking for $18,500 with all the spare parts included.

So I've been sick for 2 weeks now. Sinus's, cough, achey the whole nine yards. Well it's all in my chest now. YUK. I told my husband just to shoot me. On top of that my 3 yr old has a sinus infection too. Well I asked my husband to help me with baths and to clean up after dinner. He said, "What do I pay you for?" Excuse me?! Well he's been sleeping on the couch this week. I can't sleep b/c I've been up all day and night taking care of our dd and cleaning. I am to the point I feel like I'm going to crumble and where is he... in the woods hunting.
What the hell? You're sick, kid is sick, and he's HUNTING, and he claims he pays you?!
I would never tolerate that from anyone.
Don't do shit. Sit on your ass all day long except to feed/medicate your sick child. Lay on the couch with your DD. Don't make his dinner, do laundry, clean house, nothing.
If he notices, tell him "what do I sleep with you for? Because if you don't step up and help, I'm going to be too tired for sex for a LOOOONG time."
I'm not a fan of using sex for leverage, but he's obviously a man-pig, that's probably all that will get through to him. -
I'm a stay at home momma. He thinks that I stay at home all day to watch tv and eat bon bon's. HA! Not true. Hence the reason our house is kept neat and clean and our 3 year old (turned 3 last month) is already reading and spelling. No worries, I start a new job on Thursday : ) He will soon learn how good he had it. I love KARMA. For now he's sleeping in our guest room. He knows he was in the wrong and he has since apologized. I told him next time he's on a power kick, go outside and do something constructive. If he takes it out on me again, I'll put miralax in his ice tea. : D

Reese Witherspoon and her daughter Ava, 13, could pass for sisters, if this latest photo and video is anything to go by.
We caught up with Reese, Ava and little brother Deacon as the trio visited the doctor's office in Beverly Hills.
And one thing that was strikingly evident is how Ava is looking more like Reese every day!

When we first started traveling I didn't feel very comfortable taking pictures of people. In fact, in most of my photos I would wait until people moved out of my shot. Sometimes I would even get frustrated that they were 'ruining' a perfectly good photo. Somewhere along the line I realized that photos of empty streets and building facades no matter how good the lighting didn't necessary make an interesting photo. Memories of a place are so much more than the architecture or beautiful sunsets. It's the people that give a place it's identity. Here is a sampling (in no particular order) of what you might see on an average day, in an average place somewhere around the world.
View from the train as we leave Bangkok |
Local Vietnamese cater to the tourists lounging under the umbrellas offering massages, manicures and threading (hair removal) rather insistently in Sihanoukville.
The fish market in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil has restaurants upstairs that will prepare your fish for you while you drink lots of beer.
Ah, yes...this is where I started photographing people on the streets. Maybe before we got to Barcelona there weren't any interesting ones...

Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 | Reviewer's Overall Rating: 9.3 |
2011 Porsche Panamera 4 | Buy/More Info | |||
Miles driven on tires: | 2,000 | |||
Location: | New York, NY | |||
Driving Condition: | Spirited | |||
Initial Review, 2,000 Miles on Tires I bought this as a winter tire in the New York City metro area. The winter has been very mild with almost no snow. As a result, the tire is hard to evaluate as a winter tire. As a performance tire for a Porsche Panamera 4 it is outstanding. I have found overall performance to be very close to my Pirelli P Zero summer tires and superior to any all-season tire I have used in the past on other performance cars. If not for excessive wear, I would run these all year round. Handling, steering and road feel are all at a level far more similar to a max performance summer tire than a performance all-season or winter tire. Strongly recommended.

Newberry: BCS was good, but just not good enough
Bye-bye to the BCS.
The Bowl Championship Series came along too late and then stayed too long, but despite all the widespread complaining, a lot of it by guys like me, it served a purpose.
So much better than its predecessor. So much less than what we all wanted.
Its goal was to provide a two-team playoff. Probably more than half the time it was able to accomplish that mission.
Don't forget that we had backroom deals and 8-0 teams being picked for a New Year's Day Bowl, only to lose out and finish 8-3 after that handshake.
Any 'championship' games played before the BCS were pure luck.
The BCS started with the 1999 season and Tee Martin and Tennessee gave us a forecast for the future with a 23-16 victory over favored Florida State.
The SEC is 8-1 in BCS title games. The only loss came this past January when LSU lost to Alabama.
The best the BCS had to offer was after the 2005 season when Vince Young and the Texas Longhorns took down a USC team for the ages, 41-38. It was the best two teams playing at their best, at least offensively, in a game everyone could enjoy.
And it was the last time a team not from the SEC claimed the big trophy.
The other half of the traditional Rose Bowl — the Big 10 — gave us a disputed winner and a lot of flops. Ohio State beat Miami in an overtime game known more for bad officiating than the MVP play of Craig Krenzel.
Then the Buckeyes felt obligated to go back and suffer embarrassment at the hands of Florida and LSU.
Oklahoma figured prominently in this era. OU and Bob Stoops broke through and won following the 2000 season, but as usual there was usually something strange with the setup when the Sooners went to the BCS game.
OU beat the second-best team from Florida — FSU — in an ugly 13-2 game. The Sooners went 1-3 in BCS finals and might be 0-4 if they'd had to play Miami, which beat FSU head-to-head and finished above them in both the AP and coaches' polls.
Oklahoma then returned following a 2004 Big 12 title game in which it lost by four TDs to an eventual four-loss Kansas State team. Still, AP champ USC was overlooked for the favored Sooners, who lost to LSU.
OU went again the next year over an undefeated SEC champion Auburn and predictably got smashed 55-19 by USC, which has since had to vacate that title. Not a proud moment for college football or the BCS.
OU had another crack at ending the SEC dominance following the 2009 season when it went despite a 10-point loss to Texas in the Cotton Bowl Red River Rivalry. While a one-loss Texas team beat Ohio State in the Fiesta, the Sooners lost again by 10 to Florida in the BCS final with David Nelson catching a touchdown pass for the Gators.
But the biggest black eye for the Big 12, 2-5 in title games, came because of Nebraska. The Huskers closed out their 2001 regular season with a 62-36 loss to Colorado but still moved on to the title game, and not surprisingly they were throttled 37-14 by Miami.
So while it's easy to hate change when my wife wants to move the sofa or paint a bedroom or the IT guys want to install a new system on my computer, I look forward to the progress of a college football playoff.
Four teams is probably not the end goal, but I'm much more comfortable leaving out No. 5 than I have been ignoring No. 3.
The only sad thing is for the teams that will finish No. 3 or No. 4 the next two years. They'll believe in their hearts they could have won it all, they just came along a little too early.
College football will soon officially leave the 20th century. But we'll still find something to argue about.

Today: Cook Street focuses on North Africa
Those of us who love food tend to love it from all regions of the globe. But while we might appreciate certain exotic cuisines, it's sometimes difficult to incorporate them into our own cooking repertoire.

You'll learn how to make white bean dip; carrot salad with olives and cumin; cucumber and feta salad; lamb skewers with chermoula and couscous, and follow all that up with oranges and dates with cinnamon and almonds. The meal, complete with wine, is included in each $79 class.
You can sign up at 303-308-9300; to learn more about World of Taste classes -- including food from India, Thailand, Spain, Peru and Germany -- go to www.cookstreet.com. Cook Street is located at 1937 Market Street.

Global investment management organisation Franklin Templeton Investments (India) has decided to retain its incumbent creative agency, M&C Saatchi.
Earlier this year, the brand authorities had called for a creative pitch. In fact, after the initial credential-seeking phase, a few leading agencies were given creative briefs to work on. However, after several months of waiting, the team has decided to retain its current agency.It is learnt that the brand's upcoming communication will be more tactical, activation-led and strong on the digital (particularly social media) front.
M&C Saatchi has been working on the creative mandate for this account since 2008. The agency had won the Franklin Templeton business in a multi-agency pitch at the time, before which Rediffusion-Y&R handled the brand's advertising for two-and-a-half years.
Even earlier, Contract Advertising took care of the brand's creative duties for four years, and before that Fortune Communications did so for five years.
In 2011, the brand released some ad films that were hinged on the premise that people do little things on a daily basis to show how much they care for their loved ones. The point was to promote the brand's family solutions offering by positioning it as one that understood this sentiment of caring for one's family.
Headquartered in California, Franklin Templeton has offices in 29 countries around the world. Globally, the company offers investment products under the brand names Franklin, Templeton, Mutual Series, and Fiduciary.
Maxus currently handles the media planning/buying mandate for the account.

I've been in a writing kick lately. I think part of it is because I did a 6+1 traits of writing training a while back for the new teachers in my building. As part of my training, I planned a personal narrative unit that combines introducing the 6+1 traits with the writing process. I've been thinking about creating a couple units to sell. I've noticed that I think that's where many people get stuck in writing; how everything fits together. What do you think? Is this something you would purchase? Would you be interested in it? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
In my last post I shared some cute back to school stationery. In the meantime, I had started working on a couple different journals.
The What If Journal is 35 different pages of "What if..." writing prompts. I like giving students prompts because I think it builds their creative thinking before they do state mandated prompts. I especially like "what if" prompts because it encourages students to think outside the box. You can get the journal from my TpT store by clicking on the pictures above. It's only $2!
I also included 35 different writing stationery pages that could be used on their own or as pages in a journal. I like the thought of choosing the pages that they like the best and then compiling and binding them later. I've included some basic ones and also many that fit different holidays and themes. Here are a couple:
I also put all of that together along with some other writing pieces I had to give you a year-long set for writing. I'm going to use this for my Work on Writing time during Daily 5.

Sugar Man
Cootie Stark is the Piedmont specialist of the bunch. A direct link to Piedmont pioneers like Pink Anderson and Peg Leg Sam, the 72-year-old Stark cuts loose with downhome authority on Sugar Man (Cello 91002-2; 67:00). He strums hard and sings with a barrel chested delivery on originals like "Metal Bottoms," "Jigroo," and "Send You Back to Georgia." He demonstrates a more facile though no less affecting fingerstyle approach on his own "Lonely Blues" and on the traditional number "Blue Smokey Mountain." And a decided gospel influence comes out on "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?"

USGS Western Ecological Research Center
USGS scientists will be among the speakers at the 2011 South Bay Science Symposium, to be held on February 3 at the USGS Menlo Park campus in California. The event is open to the public, and will feature speakers from agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, University of California, San Jose State University, San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory, and Coastal Conservancy. This series of talks is hosted by the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project, a multiagency effort overseeing some 15,000 acres of land in southern San Francisco Bay formerly controlled by hunting clubs and salt producers -- and restoring much of them to their original tidal wetland ecosystems. As a whole, the project is the largest tidal wetland restoration project in the West Coast. In 2003, much of this crucial acreage was secured with funding from federal and state agencies, private foundations and congressional appropriations championed by U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein. Restored as estuarine marshes with natural tidal cycles, these vast expanses of wetlands will provide valuable ecosystem services to local communities, such as natural flood control, sediment trapping and habitat for waterfowl and endangered species. Researchers from USGS and other federal, state and local institutions will study these habitats to track the effect of habitat restoration on the local ecosystem. Laura Valoppi of the USGS Western Ecological Research Center serves as lead scientist for the overall project. Presenters at the symposium will discuss their research progress in southern San Francisco Bay. From USGS, they include Josh Ackerman, whose team is studying mercury contamination as well as waterbird nesting, and John Takekawa, whose team is examining the local food web as well as the impact of sea level rise on endangered wetland species. Presentations will also be given by USGS scientists Greg Shellenberger, Bruce Jaffe, Jan Thompson, Isa Woo, Arriana Brand and Mark Herzog. USGS hydrologist David Schoellhamer will be among the moderators.
Attendee registration is available at http://www.southbayrestoration.org/science/2011symposium/ See time-lapse photos of the project's latest levee breach on December 6, 2010: http://www.werc.usgs.gov/outreach.aspx?RecordID=24 http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=14205&id=100001859418503

If you're looking to blow up your chest and triceps —look no further, because "Chest Blaster Pushup Protocol" will inflate your chest and tri's bigger than Donald Trump's ego!
How To Do It
You're going to need an aerobic step, some dumbbells, or a thick book for this one. Perform these four pushup variation exercises back-to-back as quickly as possible, with good form, of course! Complete at least five reps per move without allowing your knees to touch the ground.
1 Lock Off
Find the right supplements for your diet and fitness goals at GNC Live Well.
Get into pushup position over the platform. Lower your body until your chest is just above the floor, then push back up. Reach up with one hand and slap your opposite pec muscle. Do all of your reps on one side and then switch hands.
2 Crossover Pushup
Perform a pushup with one hand on the platform, then quickly switch hands and do one with the opposite hand.
3 Close-grip Pushup
Place both hands on the platform with your fingers pointed toward the floor and perform pushups, squeezing hard the whole time.
4 Drop 'n' Pop
With your hands on each side of the plat- form, drop down into a pushup so your chest touches the platform. Then explosively push yourself back up so your hands come up in the air. Catch yourself on the platform. Walk your hands back down to the sides and repeat.
Why It Works
There are several reasons why the Chest Blaster Pushup Protocol works to build insane size in your chest and tri's:
High volume: It's no secret that increased muscular work volume creates overload, which stimulates hypertrophy gains.
■ Creates an insane pump: Boosting blood flow into the muscle causes cell swelling, which research has shown can stimulate muscle size gains.
■ High intensity: Moving fast and lifting heavy are both proven ways to increase motor unit recruitment. The fast, explosive nature of this pushup circuit ensures maximal motor unit recruitment with every rep!
■ Hits your chest and tri's in a variety of ways: Not only will this new training stimulus spark new muscle gains, but the four different variations of pushups utilized in this protocol also ensure you hit your pecs and triceps from several ways.
How to use it in your workout
Don't let your ego fool you—just because this protocol uses only your body weight, doesn't mean it's easy! It's called the Chest Blaster for a damn good reason! That said, as with any other training concept, I recommend you gradually progress into this to ensure that you create continued overload without overtraining.
Here's how you can gradually progress with the chest blaster workout over a six-week period. The goal is not just to complete all the reps; it's also to complete all the reps, back-to-back, with speed, deliberate control, and optimal form.
When To Use It
We have three favorite ways to use the Chest Blaster Pushup Protocol with the athletes we train at Performance u in Ft. Lauderdale, FL:
1 As a burn-out finisher on chest or arms day.
2 Mixed in as part of a comprehensive chest and/or arms workout.
3 As an express or on-the-go chest and tri's workout for athletes who are traveling, in a rush, or training at home.
If you're performing the Chest Blaster Protocol as part of a workout along with other traditional free-weight chest exercises, do 1–3 sets.
If you are performing this protocol as a stand-alone workout (like in a hotel room or just to get a quick pump), I recommend performing 5–6 sets.
Between exercises: Rest as little as possible without ever putting your knees down. But, you can pause a bit here and there while performing each round.
Between sets: Rest 3–5 minutes.

Farmers Markets, Baked Goods & Pretties
Sweet & Savory
I baked some sweet rolls a few days back but instead of doing the typical butter, cinnamon, sugar combination which is always yummy. I filled them with mascarpone cheese & freshly made strawberry freezer jam. Don't they look delicious? Well they are. I can assure you of that.
I am sharing this with you because I am considering a booth at my local community farmers market. I love farmer's markets. When we lived in North Carolina there was a very large market not to far from us and it was so much fun to walk through all the open-air buildings to see what everyone had brought to sell. I purchased one of the most amazing wooden cutting boards from that very spot. There were always fresh cut flowers, pottery, baked goods and of course lots and lots of produce.
The market I am considering being a part of will be on a much smaller scale. There is a small fee to set up and I would of course need a tent and tables. If I do this I would sell home baked goods and maybe some original creations made by "Blue Sky Confections".
How do I decide what to make? 7 am is the start time and the breakfast hour. Would english muffins sell? These are much simpler to make than I thought and market goers could slather on some homemade strawberry jam and grab a cup of coffee.
What about chocolate chip cookies with finely chopped pecans?
This wouldn't be a money making venture. I don't think there's loads of money to be made in small batch baked goods one Saturday morning each month. It would be more of a "get my name and blog" out into the community in hopes that my local readership would increase and maybe even open up some new doors of opportunity. What doors of opportunity? I don't know. I'll be waiting to see.
To participate or not is the question I'm asking myself. I definitely don't want to waste my time and resources.
Any thoughts from those of you that may have done markets in the past.
I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks for stopping by Blue Sky Confections!

I tried to comment earlier but I think my phone ate it so forgive me if it double posts. I have considered the same thing before, but my kid's sports always get in the way. I think you should totally give it a try! You figure the worst outcome is that you meet some new people and everyone enjoys your sparkling personality and FABULOUS homemade yummies. THe best outcome is that you make contacts that can help move your bloggy along to bigger and better things. And, I have total faith that the latter will be the outcome. Just let me know where you are: I LOVE homemade english muffins :)

Busted Flush | |||||
George R.R. Martin | |||||
Tor, 400 pages | |||||
A review by Nathan Brazil
Weaving the various threads together in a fashion that is both expert and crafty in every sense of the
word, is "Double Helix" from Melinda M.
Snodgrass. The story here centres on British Secret Service ace Noel Matthews. An hermaphrodite with
multiple identities, Matthews plays several interconnected roles including Bahir, the teleporting killer at
the command of an Arab potentate, and Lilith, the teleporting seductress who is part of the Committee. As
if that wasn't enough, Matthews is also seen caring for his dying father. Scenes which I found particularly
touching and realistic, having done the job myself a few years back.
"Double Helix" allows this book to soar and swoop, sometimes flying high, at other times diving so low it
nearly scrapes the ground. The quality and imagination of the central theme makes it easier to forgive when
some of the lesser ideas don't work quite as well as their writers intended. I was delighted to see the
Radical, a form belonging to one of the oldest Wild Carders, playing a pivotal role. As long-time fans will
know, the Radical is probably the nearest thing Wild Cards has to Superman, and is one form of Dr. Mark
Meadows, a hippie ace originally known as Captain Trips. In this book, however, he is trapped in his alter
ego and about as far away from hippie ideals as it is possible to get. The Radical has become the power
behind an African leader, brutally taking control over large sections of the Dark Continent. Concurrent
with this story is the least interesting of the main threads, which sees Committee members deployed in
New Orleans and the Middle East. These segments rarely caught light for me, with two exceptions; the
development of the most interesting of the newbies from the last book, Drummer Boy, and an entirely new
character, Hoodoo Mama. The third element of the mosaic is the tale of a plump teenager named Drake, code
named Little Fat Boy, which will make sense to students versed in the history of nuclear weapons. Drake,
has a devastating Wild Card power, the ability to create fallout free nuclear explosions centred around
wherever he stands. Unfortunately, it is an ability which he cannot control. Various individuals and groups
recognise his potential, and seek to use him as a deadly pawn. Only Niobe, an American ace abused and
imprisoned by her own government, takes Drake's side. Until, that is, an unlikely romance brings her a
lethal ally. This relationship is in sharp contrast to the wishy-washy love triangle between John
Fortune, Curveball and Drummer Boy. Both dalliances with romance, however, include an interesting twist.
Busted Flush is a meaty, absorbing, highly entertaining read, which successfully meshes the old with
the new. Stock has obviously been taken, and the editor has realised that some of the newbies are simply not
as interesting as other characters available within this world. The lesson learned between books, it would
seem, is that great characters cannot be manufactured by a process as crass as the American Hero TV show
used in Inside Straight. Great characters, such as Noel Matthews, Carnifex, and Drummer Boy, leap
from the minds of their creators, and develop along their own paths. What Busted Flush does is
renew my belief in this process, the writers new and old, and the possibility that Wild Cards
can still be an evolving, vibrant creation for another twenty years.

Model Packs increase the number of Amp or FX Models of a GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt, PODxt Live or PODxt Pro, for a wider variety of tone possibilities. When a particular tone in the library relies on a Model available in one of these packs, you'll see symbol(s) to indicate which Packs: MS (Metal Shop), CC (Classics Collection), FX (FX Junkie), and PP (Power Pack).
The models within the FX Junkie Model Pack are already included in PODxt Live, and offered for purchase to add-on to GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt and PODxt Pro.
Variax is the uniquely flexibile guitar from Line 6. Our Vetta II amplifier includes a digital connection for the Variax that lets you store settings for both your amp and your guitar in the Vetta II so that when you call up a Vetta Channel Memory your amp and guitar can change sounds together. Vetta II Tones marked with this guitar symbol include this Variax data.
For each tone in the library, you'll see an icon for either a single coil or humbucker pickup. This tells you whether the tone is best for use with a single coil pickup or a humbucker, so you can select the appropriate pickup on your guitar when using this tone.
Attention POD 2.0, Flextone and HD147 owners... Your hardware doesn't do Stomp effects, so you'll hear something different than what was intended. Try increasing the Drive or choose a higher gain Amp Model to get the right sound. The other aspects of the sound should translate as expected, so you'll at least get a great starting place for tweaking.

I suppose that might be the same as the Kodak chemicals I list in the first post that are available separately. Probably Vanbar also package them as kits. I'll email Sydney and ask what they have.
Ployglot - I think 5 liters is more than i want at the moment. I'll start with some small kits and then decide how to proceed.

Kratos will lose his yard with the beautiful view of the water — not that he cares about that sort of thing — but he will gain spacious living quarters in a spot that's more convenient for people to visit.
That is, unless someone adopts the sweet, giant-headed pit bull before the big move, planned for September.
Oak Harbor officials finally found a new site for the city animal shelter.
Last week, Oak Harbor City Council members approved a lease agreement with an option to purchase the Freedom Kennels on Goldie Road.
The acquisition will cost the city $2,500 a month, plus an additional $10,000 for the option to purchase.
If all goes well, the city expects to remodel the kennels at a cost of up to $20,000 prior to the move.
"It would be really nice to be off the base and somewhere that has better access," said Shari Bibich, shelter manager for Whidbey Animals' Improvement Foundation.
The group, commonly called WAIF, manages the city's current dog-and-cat pound.
The city has struggled with the animal-shelter issue for years. The city's current shelter is housed in a decrepit building on the Navy's Seaplane base.
The facility has inadequate space, improper ventilation and no bathroom for workers. It's hidden away next to a beach on the Seaplane Base.
With tightened base security measures, access to the current animal shelter is a perennial problem for both workers and those looking to adopt pets.
Under an agreement with the city, the Navy provided the shelter in exchange for animal control services.
The Navy acknowledges problems with the building and announced last year that is closing down the shelter.
The city has until the end of September to relocate.
The city has sought an alternative facility for years. In December, city officials issued a request for proposals for animal control management and operations services.
City officials said they were looking for someone to both provide and operate an animal shelter.
Instead, officials decided that purchasing the Freedom Kennels may be the solution to their facility problem.
City Administrator Larry Cort said the three-year lease with option to purchase gives the city time to evaluate the facility.
"This could be our long-term solution," he said.
Freedom Kennels has been in use since 1976 and "has been reasonably well maintained given the building's age," said Cort. It has 40 heated spaces for dogs, offers access to short outdoor runs. A small dog-grooming room will be converted into a cat room.
Cort said city officials have worked with people from WAIF — the likely contractor to operate the facility 'Äî and identified modifications necessary to convert the building into a public animal shelter.
Cort said the work will likely cost an estimated $15,000 to $20,000.
The lease will cost $2,500 a month, plus the city will pay half the property taxes and all the utilities bills.
The city secured the option for purchase for $10,000. If the city ends up purchasing the property, the $10,000 will be used towards the sale price.
The agreed-upon price for the property is $267,000, which is the assessed value.
The kennel is on 7.2 acres, most of which is wooded. Cort explained that the city won't have access to the woods during the lease period, but it would be part of the purchase. He said he's not sure what the city may do with the woods beyond creating dog-walking trails.
As for Kratos, the move may be a godsend given the near-constant traffic of potential adoptive families streaming by the Goldie Road kennels. He's lived at the Seaplane base shelter since arriving as a stray in August of 2012, which makes him the longest resident of the facility.
He's more than ready for a permanent home.

DrLou 5pts The Scion/Toyota A-Bat concept sounds perfect as a daily commuter/ light hauling vehicle as long as it really can handle 4 x 8 sheets of plywood and is either rear-wheel drive or AWD. If it's based upon a front-wheel drive vehicle and can't carry a least full sheets of plywood, don't bother.
lasvegascolonel 5pts Since Ford has decided to restrict many of its vehicles here (Ranger, Fiesta coupe, Falcon,), and Chrysler hasn't really committed to a replacement for the Dakota, only GM will "likely" bring the Colorado here, though it will probably be only 4/5 cylinder with no V8 option like now. Toyota, Nissan, and Honda will be the beneficiaries of Ford and Chrysler's short-sightedness. This smaller Toyota is probably too small; whereas, the Tacoma is just right.

Science and Fiction: "Posthumanism Today" (4/15/09; MMLA; 11/12-15/09)full name / name of organization: Todd Comer contact email: email@example.com This year's Science and Fiction panel at M/MLA will consider representations of the posthuman. Of particular interest will be papers that consider the posthuman from the standpoint of biotechnologies and their impact on our thinking of what it means to be human. One concrete way of considering this issue is to imagine Frankenstein's monster in the 21st century. The monster did its best to escape its constructedness and assert a semblance of humanity. Is it possible for any body—human or machine, real or fictional, sane or insane—to do the same today? If not, where does that leave "humanity"? Please send 250 word abstracts to Todd Comer, Defiance College (email@example.com), or D. Harlan Wilson, Wright State-Lake Campus (email@example.com), by April 15.

The command (above) will remove any duplicate rows based on the FIRST column of data in an un-sorted file.
The '$1' represents a positional parameter. You can change both instances of '$1' in the command to remove duplicates based on a different column, for instance, the third:
awk '{ if ($3 in stored_lines) x=1; else print; stored_lines[$3]=1 }' infile.txt > outfile.txt
Or you can change it to '$0' to base the removal on the whole row:
awk '{ if ($0 in stored_lines) x=1; else print; stored_lines[$0]=1 }' infile.txt > outfile.txt
** Note: I wouldn't use this on a MASSIVE file, unless you're RAM-rich ;) **
buf myfile.txt
This is useful when you are making small but frequent changes to a file. It keeps things organised and clear for another administrator to see what changed and at what time. An overview of changes can be deduced using a simple:
ls -ltr
Essentially the same as funky's alias, but will not traverse filesystems and has nicer formatting.
I have come across a situation in the past where someone has unlinked a file by running an 'rm' command against it while it was still being written to by a running process.
The problem manifested itself when a 'df' command showed a filesystem at 100%, but this did not match the total value of a 'du -sk *'.
When this happens, the process continues to write to the file but you can no longer see the file on the filesystem. Stopping and starting the process will, more often than not, get rid of the unlinked file, however this is not always possible on a live server.
When you are in this situation you can use the 'lsof' command above to get the PID of the process that owns the file (in the sample output this is 23521).
Run the following command to see a sym-link to the file (marked as deleted):
cd /proc/23521/fd && ls -l
Truncate the sym-link to regain your disk space:
> /proc/23521/fd/3
I should point out that this is pretty brutal and *could* potentially destabilise your system depending on what process the file belongs to that you are truncating.
This is a handy way to circumvent the "Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded" grep error.
Once you have run the above command (or put it in your .bashrc), files can be searched using:
lgrep search-string /file/to/search
This does the same thing as many of the 'grep' based alternatives but allows a more finite control over the output. For example if you only wanted the process ID you could change the command:
ps -ef | awk '/mingetty/ && !/awk/ {print $2}'
If you wanted to kill the returned PID's:
ps -ef | awk '/mingetty/ && !/awk/ {print $2}' | xargs -i kill {}
This command will copy files and directories from a remote machine to the local one.
Ensure you are in the local directory you want to populate with the remote files before running the command.
To copy a directory and it's contents, you could:
ssh user@host "(cd /path/to/a/directory ; tar cvf - ./targetdir)" | tar xvf -
This is especially useful on *nix'es that don't have 'scp' installed by default.
This command will show the 20 processes using the most CPU time (hungriest at the bottom).
You can see the 20 most memory intensive processes (hungriest at the bottom) by running:
ps aux | sort +3n | tail -20
Or, run both:
echo "CPU:" && ps aux | sort +2n | tail -20 && echo "Memory:" && ps aux | sort +3n | tail -20
This command will tell you the 20 biggest directories starting from your working directory and skips directories on other filesystems. Useful for resolving disk space issues.
This command will replace all instances of 'foo' with 'bar' in all files in the current working directory and any sub-directories.
This command will replace all instances of 'foo' with 'bar' in all files in the current working directory.
